loopback

If you wish to use an audio recorder to record audio being played by another application, such as capturing audio from youtube, you can use a loopback driver.

An Audio Loopback Driver is a virtual driver that allows one software to capture audio from another software. This is an alternative to capturing from a microphone. Simply holding a microphone up to your speaker would do a poor job of audio capture.

Example loopback virtual driver for MacOS

It does not appear to be in the Apple Store. It is on GitHub.

Another possible option as a loopback is "Background Music"

capture

You can now capture and record with the latest version of Apple Quicktime. You will still need a loopback driver to capture from another software application.

  • In the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, choose File > New Audio Recording.
